I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 848 The Shelf Life of Love Tribulations

Who would have thought that Jiang Ming's two mysterious destinies, after evolving to their later stages, could actually help his confidante?

The Three Mountains and Five Sacred Peaks.

This is the foremost of the Three Mountains, the sacred site of the Eastern Emperor.

As for Biyou Fairy, she's just like Bai Lianhua—she's love-struck, there's not much to say, she falls for someone quickly.

Who would have thought that I would stay in Donghua Mountain for three years?

Three years is enough time for a lot to happen.

Unbeknownst to them, the situation changed drastically, whether it was Sun Wukong rescuing them or his past life, Shen Wutian, blocking their way.

Three years have passed, and Jiang Ming is doing quite well. He has already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, this is all within the laws of this world, and Jiang Ming already has some ideas of his own.

He practices the methods of the Tongtian Sect Master lineage, which he obtained from the Tongtian Sect Master's eldest disciple.

This is very important for Jiang Ming's future refinement and cultivation of the Great Freedom Dao Scripture.

His Great Freedom Dao Scripture was stuck. This time, he could only break through by relying on the laws of this world. After breaking through to the Primordial Dao Saint level, he would then find a way to deduce and create the upper part of the Great Freedom Dao Scripture, the Daoist canon.

Bai Lianhua's cultivation progress over the past three years has been the fastest; she has already reached the perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Here, there are various Daoist scriptures, Jiang Ming's guidance in her dreams, coupled with her talent and her alignment with the destiny of the Great Tribulation.

Because in the original story, she was taught to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal by a demon, especially at the end when she killed her own master, a demon who was a Nine-Tailed Scorpion at the early stage of Quasi-Sainthood.

It sounds unbelievable, but without a doubt, in this parallel universe, this great calamity is coming. Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Golden Immortals will perish. And some will become one of the protagonists of this great calamity, rising to power amidst the chaos.

This seemingly innocent woman is one of the female protagonists in the Great Calamity.

Given the level that the Nine-Tailed Scorpion could achieve for the White Lotus, Jiang Ming would certainly be able to do even better.

Then there's Fairy Biyou, who unknowingly began competing with White Lotus. Originally, she disliked cultivation and preferred studying other cultivation arts, but now she too has learned to diligently cultivate.

Now, her cultivation has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Now the two women are openly and secretly competing, each wanting to surpass the other?

Such competition is a virtuous cycle, so Jiang Ming naturally turned a blind eye and tacitly approved of it.

So fine.

But things were different for Emperor Donghua. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The young apprentice developed worldly desires and fell in love with someone he shouldn't have.

And that innocent-looking girl too. He'd already figured it out; both girls were the darlings of this great calamity. For every death, someone else would rise.

Judging from the situation, Bai Lianhua and his disciple Biyou Xianzi will at least achieve the level of Daluo Jinxian (Great Luo Golden Immortal).

There are currently eight years left until the end of the Great Tribulation.

Anything can happen in those eight years.

However, Jiang Ming is at the center of the great calamity, and Emperor Donghua had long suspected that Jiang Ming might be the reincarnation of Buddha Tathagata. Therefore, this marriage was destined to be impossible.

Finally, he decided to find his disciple, Fairy Biyou, and talk to her. At the very least, he wanted her to understand that he, as her master, did not approve of the marriage.

At the same time, this was to prevent Biyou from developing inner demons even if she later learned the truth and could not be with Ling'er.

“Master, you called for me because I’ve been practicing very diligently lately, as you know. I haven’t been slacking off.”

When Fairy Biyou saw her master, she felt a little guilty.

She was an abandoned baby who was found by her master.

Therefore, her master was like a father, a mother, and a teacher to her.

"Child, do you understand your current situation? You've been tempted by worldly desires." In the end, Emperor Donghua didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Yes, I know, Master."

Biyou Fairy was a little shy, but facing her master, she still admitted it frankly and directly.

“Child, I know how hard you’ve worked in your cultivation all these years, and so has that child named White Lotus. But—”

Emperor Donghua spoke, but he couldn't directly say that Jiang Ming was the reincarnation of Buddha Tathagata, because some things involved too much karma, and he couldn't bear the consequences.

In this cataclysm that swept through the Three Realms, the number of Quasi-Saints who died has already exceeded a handful. Not to mention, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals who perished is likely even greater.

"Master, please don't be angry if I say something."

"It is the fairy Biyou who speaks."

"You say it."

Emperor Donghua nodded quietly.

“Master, if I had to choose between cultivating immortality and Ling’er, I would choose Ling’er without hesitation. Before, my heart was as still as water, and I felt like I wasn’t really alive. Only recently have I felt that my life has meaning. Moreover, I have also worked hard in my cultivation and have not let down your expectations because of my feelings for my lover.”

"I am a fairy," said Biyou in a serious tone.

Emperor Donghua was speechless. "Giving up cultivation for the sake of love and affection, how could you say that? But he also understands that this is a tribulation of love, which he must overcome and cannot escape."

Most importantly, Emperor Donghua knew very well that a relationship between Jiang Ming and Fairy Biyou was impossible, and he could foresee the outcome. He only needed to quietly wait for his precious disciple to experience the trials of love, temper his heart in the mortal world, and then focus on his spiritual cultivation; that would be enough.

As for what his beloved disciple told him about eating, drinking, cultivation, and sleeping, his mind was full of things like Jiang Ming.

What could Emperor Donghua say? He couldn't say anything. They were all experienced people; he understood.
A love tribulation has arrived.

Chang'e, the princess of the demon race, fell in love with the witch race.

The Jade Emperor's sister, Yao Ji, fell in love with a mortal and had three children.

Even gods cannot remain clear-headed in the face of love's tribulations.

Emperor Donghua could only remain silent; there was nothing he could do to help in this matter. In fact, doing so would only backfire.

"I won't force your child. I just want to tell you that Ling'er's identity is not simple. You two are destined to have no future together."

Emperor Donghua said.

“Master, no matter who he is, I will not give up. I am even willing to die for him.”

"It is the fairy Biyou who speaks."

This is definitely a case of being love-struck and completely out of touch.

However, to put it another way, this is the power of love. Even if you've experienced a lot and been hurt by love, you shouldn't despise it; it's the most beautiful thing in the world, as precious as family.

However, romantic love, compared to familial love, has an expiration date.

In the end, it was naturally Donghua Dijun who left directly. As his master, he only needed to touch on the matter briefly.

For the next period of time, everything seemed to be on the right track.

Jiang Ming has always treated the two women with utmost respect; he cannot touch them yet. Because it concerns his own grand plan.

For many, this is a catastrophe.

For Jiang Ming, this is his return, a chance to reclaim everything that is rightfully his. Some of the wishes his past life's protagonist, Shen Wutian, couldn't fulfill. Jiang Ming can do it.

After this experience, Jiang Ming believed that even if Wu Tian, ​​his past self, merged with him, he would understand everything. After all, the two were essentially one person—one from the past life, and the other from the future.
